MANILA -- Actress KC Concepcion stressed that she and Houston Rockets' Chandler Parsons are not dating.
"Friends kami, yun lang yon!" Concepcion said in her guesting on "Kris TV" hosted by Kris Aquino, which was aired on Tuesday.
In the show, Concepcion shared that all she did was organize a welcome dinner for Parsons, who visited Manila with his teammates for the NBA Global Games early this month.
"Nagpa-welcome dinner ako. Tapos dito kami sa Fort, we were 15. Ayaw ko nang pag-usapan kasi umalis na sila. I was with my sisters, he was with his other teammates, and I was with my friends.
"Ang dami namin, we made them taste Pinoy food at Aracama, pero actually malapit na siya sa Prive at saka sa Imperial. Kasi strict 'yung security nila para doon lang kami sa isang area, 'yun lang. ... Medyo kinailangan kong i-explain kung ano ang sisig kasi may sisig lumpia at kung ano ang fishballs, ganoon," she said.
The actress, who refused to give further details about their dinner, maintained that she and Parsons are just friends.
About watching Parsons' game in Manila, Concepcion said: "Nanood ako [ng game]. It was my first time, wala akong alam sa basketball unlike you (talking to Aquino). It was my first time to see a live game, it was nice. Kasi nga a lot of people saw us tweeting kaya siguro nalagyan ng anggulo na parang romance angle because they've been seeing us tweet. Pero wala, we are friends, they had a good time, we had a good time."
Earlier on Instagram, Concepcion posted a photo collage of her meeting with Parsons with the caption: "Mabuhay! So much to see, so little time! Fun night with my ladiez & the big boys. @chandlerparsons."
